"I am now officially Mum of 3 teenagers!!! The boys 18 and 17 and don’t want any more photos!!! My daughter is so photogenic and has grown up with a camera looking at her, she is now 14. Of course my hubby is tolerant of my obsession and he knows it keeps me happy. We live in country NSW Australia in a small town where the cherries are grown. 

My scrapbooking started 11 years ago and over those years I have had many layouts in magazines here in Australia. Also I have featured in the Scrapbooking Memories Masters magazine for about 6 years, never got to the master level yet!

At my local scrapbooking shop I have been teaching classes there in all those years. I have the privilege of teaching sewing lessons to adults and children in the same business. 

I have been a stay at home mum and still think it’s important to be there for my family, that stems from my Christian faith. 

I find scrapbooking is an ever growing journey for me. I learn so much all the time and keep altering my style. I love sketch challenges they seem to be the plan I need to kick start me! I want to document and keep memories alive. However it just makes me feel so good when I scrapbook, I am convinced it’s essential for the mind.

I am also on the DT at Color Stories Inspiration , I thrive on challenges and love to share the results."

Thank you Wendy for being our guest this month, and sharing your awesome

work with us!

Take a look at the fabulous creation Wendy is sharing with us today

inspired by our challenge:

"Look Fun"

Wendy:

"This challenge took considerable thought! I had to use red and white stripe reflecting the hat! Blue was also essential and I could only find the right colour in my scraps, I tried hard to keep white space as this is a dominant feature too!

I found this quote from the book and thought that would guide me to the photo I needed!

Paint splatters are just fun to do so I added all colours!!!

I have added some random embellishments as Dr Suess is like that too!"

Inspired by Wendy's layout and/or our challenge?   We would love to see what 

you create based on this challenge!

Thank you for stopping by and return tomorrow to meet our first 

designer for this term and to see the awesome inspiration she created 

to share with you, inspired by our January Stash Challenge!
